Having announced during the week that the match would be his last, Brad Green kicked two goals early in the first quarter but after a bright start the Crows kicked away late in the second quarter before piling on ten goals in the third term to blow the margin out to more than 70 points at the last change.

In front of their home crowd for the last time in 2012 the Demons rallied to win the last quarter, but the Crows had done it all.
